Theme Management becomes available once Forumactif Edge has been installed. As its name suggests, the theme manager allows you to choose different themes and color presets for your default forum theme.

Theme Management offers 4 different options to customize your theme. These options are : 

1. **Select a theme** allows you to select different themes for Forumactif Edge. The current themes available are "Edge Default" and "Edge Dark". See [this page](https://github.com/SethClydesdale/forumactif-edge/wiki/Themes) for a more in depth look at Forumactif Edge's different themes.

2. **Select a color** allows you to customize the primary color for the selected theme. You can choose from **100+** different colors, or create your own color with the "Custom color" option.

3. **Minify stylesheet** allows you to choose if the imported theme should be minified or unminified. Minified themes take up less space, but are hard to edit. Make sure to choose "No" for this option if you want to edit the imported theme.

4. **Right-to-left** allows you to change the text direction of the imported theme to RTL, if set to "Yes". This option is mainly for [rtl scripts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left).

After you have made your selection, click the "Import theme" button to bring up the secondary confirmation. 

**Important :** If you have any customized CSS and want to keep it, it's recommended that you back it up, because the import process will overwrite your current stylesheet. It also overwrites the mini-icons and some gallery icons in pics management.

Once you have backed up the necessary files, click "OK" to begin the import process. When the process has completed, your customized theme will be available on your forum !
